Makes a small jar.Use 2 tablespoons per 500 g or 17.6 oz meat.You can increase the chilli flake component for more heat, but I prefer to leave it more mild so I can add extra chilli to dishes as required 🙂

I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and engaging, and let me tell
you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that too few people are speaking
intelligently about. I am very happy I stumbled across
this during my hunt for something regarding this.

Another awesome dinner Nik! Had some chicken that needed using up and had no idea what I was going to cook. Found some cauli in the bottom of the fridge and decided to give this a go. Only had 500g cauli, so adjusted all the other ingredients accordingly and it really is delicious! Might just go have a second bowl now 😜… Thanks again Nik!

Impressed! I have to admit I wasn’t completely sold on this mix as I have tried others in the past and they were never as good as the packet stuff. This is the one! I have now made a double batch and will be using this instead of the packet from now on. So authentic and the right balance of spices for taco mince.

I made this mix last week, and used it last night in our tacos. Response from DH -“this is far better than any packet mix!”
I have made mexican from scratch before, but this is definately the best blend by far for balance of flavour and spice. Thanks again Nic!

We try and follow a LCHF diet in our household and this recipe is just totally fantastic. I have tried many other recipes for a taco seasoning mix from the internet and none of them were right. We use taco mince all the time as a quick dinner or smaller portions for a snack and until now I have had to buy the Old ElPaso brand as my family far prefers it….but it has wheat and sugar in it, so up until now it’s been a necessary evil. NO MORE!!!! This recipe tastes EXACTLY the same as the branded version without the wheat and sugar! Thank you so much 🙂 This is a staple in my house now!

Love this spice mix…. Use it always now in place of “Taco Seasoning”. Always double the mix. I keep this in the pantry to add a little yum to any bland dish. As always a huge “Thanks Nik” for this recipe !

Everyone in our household loves Mexican wraps using your spice mix and pita bread wraps. My daughter has just been diagnosed with Fructose Malabsorption and can no longer have any onion or garlic.
Any suggestions on how to replicate your mix without these two ingredients? Are there other spices that we should add more/less of? I realise that it wont be the same, but we would all be devastated of we could no longer have Mexican…. !!!

I’ve got a jar of this in my cupboard now and I use it for the slow cooked beef. We have it in lettuce wraps with coleslaw yum…. We’ve been having this weekly, even though it’s 40 degrees today I’ve got some beef marinating in the fridge. It’s a great summer meal too ❤️

I have to admit Old El Paso meals have been a bit of a staple in our household for a long time – this tasted just the same but it’s only got good stuff in it! (And it doesn’t turn the meat a weird orange colour like store-bought does.) We’ll never buy taco seasoning again.

This is one of the best recipes I have found on the internet lately. I made this for a Mexican fiesta for my daughters birthday. It was used as a taco mix seasoning and to marinate chicken. It was brilliant. I have since had many of my family request that I make them a jar. Thanks

[…] It can also be reinvented into so many different kinds of meals, from Chilli Con Carne (using my Mexican Spice Mix), to Shepherds Pie (using my Silky Sweet Potato Mash) to name a few. I have included both the low […]
